Literally...
I have been under the weather for the past few days.
I am in the process of resting up and will be back on track next week.

Just too funny
I have started searching YouTube clips just to see what all is out there. It was inevitable that I come across clips which invloved the library.
I am not sure if this one is real or not, but it is funny to watch...enjoy!

Library Presentation: Recap
Much to my surprise, the presentation went off without a hitch.
There were less than 10 people who showed up, but many more asked about how the presentation went and wanted me to forward on information about what was covered, so I thought post it here as well:
I. James Bradley
-Enslaved in Africa and transported to the United States. Here, he is “purchased” and shipped to Pendleton County, KY.
-Manages to earn enough money to purchase his own freedom and crosses the Ohio River at Covington, KY. Goes on to attend Lane Theological Seminary.
-Statue in Covington symbolizes his struggles in life and his instrumental role in the Abolition movement.
II. Margaret Garner
-Escaped slave who took the life of her daughter rather than see her returned to a life of slavery.
-Story depicted in Beloved, a Nobel Prize winning novel written by Toni Morrison, adapted into a film (Beloved-1998) and into an opera (Margaret Garner).
III. Beloved (a summary)
Sethe, daughter Denver and Paul D. are living free at the home of Baby Suggs, 18 years after escaping from slavery. House becomes “haunted” after Baby Suggs’ death. Sethe, Denver and Paul D. take in a young woman, who becomes attached to Sethe.

I have been asked to give a presentation on genealogy researching techniques and Native Americans, so I will keep you posted.

Library Presentation: Margaret Garner and James Bradley
Well, the day is finally here.
In staying with the theme of it being African American History Month, I will give a presentation about two African Americans who were instrumental in the Abolition movement in their respective times.
Most of you may not have heard of James Bradley, but can read more about him here.
Margaret Garner, on the other hand, so be a bit more recognizable. Her story spawned a Nobel Prize winning novel, a film starring Oprah Winfrey and a commissioned opera.
I will let you know how it goes.....wish me luck!

Library Elf's Book Review: Jews & Blacks
Jews & Blacks: A Dialogue on Race, Religion, and Culture in America, by Michael Lerner and Cornel West chronicle the similarities of and differences in the struggles that both Jews and African-Americans have faced here in the United States.
Chapter by chapter, these two academic leaders in their perspective societies take on specific issues that have been of concern in both societies and give their unique and collective perspective of the societal concern. In addition to introductions of the two intellectuals, some of the issues covered in this book include (but not limited to) Black and Jewish Nationalism, Jewish Racism/Black Anti-Semitism, and economic conflicts hindering/helping the two societies.
As an African-American, I have always known the struggles of the Jewish in the United States have paralleled those of Blacks, but this book gives me a greater perspective of the similarities and differences in the two society’s struggle for equality and inclusion.This is not light reading and I would not take it if I was going on vacation, but you are giving a speech on either two societies, I would definitely use this as a reference.
Library Elf's Rating: 3.75 points of the 5 (5 being the best)

Library Elf's Bookshelf
I went out to dinner last night and, throughout the entire evening, I ran into several people who I had not seen in years. In one case, it had been over a decade since I had laid eyes on them.
Departing from the normal questions asked to me like "How have you been?" and "Where do you live now?”, one question, "What are you reading?" was asked by everyone. No, those who I ran into were not librarians or worked in a library, but they all remembered that I love to read and always spoke of the books in which I was reading.
So I thought I would start letting you guys know what books I am currently reading and then give a brief synopsis after I am finished, along with my recommendations. You can find my current read off to the right.

EndNote Training Day
This morning a representative from EndNote gave a training presentation to out library. Tough I work in special library where there are only 3 staff members, we support a whole host of researchers who also use EndNote, so the session was packed (packed meaning about 50 people).
It always surprises me that the worst public speakers are charged with the duty of training.
Anyway...
I was able to learn a bit...and took some great notes...

Managing the 21st Century Academic Library: A Bibliography
Bernie Sloan
(b-sloan@alexia.lis.uiuc.edu)
Graduate School of Library and Information Science
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
June 3, 2002
This bibliography consists of items I have pulled together as a result of my interest in the library of the future, especially regarding the management of the 21st century academic library. I am posting this bibliography on the Web in hopes that it may be useful to those who share an interest in this topic.
There are 160+ entries in this bibliography, with about 85% of the entries accessible via the Web.
For the most part, this bibliography focuses on academic libraries. The entries in this bibliography generally date from about 1995 forward, about the time that the Internet and the World Wide Web began to impact academic libraries. There are some items that don’t deal specifically with academic libraries, and there are some items that predate 1995. These have been included because I found them generally useful.
This is a work in progress. Most of my focus so far has been on items that are freely available on the Web. I will be adding more print-based items as I begin searching abstracting and indexing databases for other resources.

This bibliography consists of items I have pulled together as a result of my interest in the library of the future, especially regarding the management of the 21st century academic library. I am posting this bibliography on the Web in hopes that it may be useful to those who share an interest in this topic.
There are 160+ entries in this bibliography, with about 85% of the entries accessible via the Web.
For the most part, this bibliography focuses on academic libraries. The entries in this bibliography generally date from about 1995 forward, about the time that the Internet and the World Wide Web began to impact academic libraries. There are some items that don’t deal specifically with academic libraries, and there are some items that predate 1995. These have been included because I found them generally useful.
This is a work in progress. Most of my focus so far has been on items that are freely available on the Web. I will be adding more print-based items as I begin searching abstracting and indexing databases for other resources.

Supervisors are the craziest people
You have been reading that I have been having a few problems with my onsite supervisor at my library.
It being a Special library makes the dynamics a bit different than if I were in a public or academic library, both of which I have had experienced working in.
There are only 2 of us here at this library.
Over the past week, my supervisor’s instructions have been well thought out, specific, concise and communicated in an effective manor.
I am impressed!
It only took 8 months to get this from her.

Its Been A Week....
It’s been a week since I proposed some ideas as to increase circulation and usage in my library and still now word from my supervisor. Not even an acknowledgement of receipt of the proposal, despite two email. Since we no longer have meetings, there is not way that I could bring it up in that forum.
The good news is (via pressure from my EEO and Diversity Steering Committee) I was given permission to give an African American History presentation at the end of this month. Of course, I was notified from the steering committee and not my supervisor.
i will let you know how it goes.

I Can't Give Up That Easily
I know, I know...
Going from the last post, you would think that I was about to go postal in my library.
Well...I love my library and my work too much to give up that easily.
Last Friday, I proposed 4 different ways to increase circulation and library use and asked permission to begin immediately implementing it. As of the end of the day today, I have yet to hear anything from my supervisor supporting/recognizing receipt/or acknowledgement of the ideas. It’s like pulling teeth, trying to get things done.
Maybe its my ideas. Maybe they are not conducive of my library's mission. I know that my ideas are more suitable for a public library; I still think that they will draw people into the library and maybe increase circulation. Here are my ideas.
1. Send an email out to the building announcing new items bought by the library.
2. Have an African American History Month program in the Library towards the end of February, inviting the entire building.
3. Have a quarterly book discussion meet in the Library.
What do you think? Are these ideas bad?

Maybe its my ideas. Maybe they are not conducive of my library's mission. I know that my ideas are more suitable for a public library; I still think that they will draw people into the library and maybe increase circulation. Here are my ideas.
1. Send an email out to the building announcing new items bought by the library.
2. Have an African American History Month program in the Library towards the end of February, inviting the entire building.
3. Have a quarterly book discussion meet in the Library.
What do you think? Are these ideas bad?
